how to change git branch command line code example
Example 1: how to swap branch git
[git checkout "branch_name"]
is another way to say:
[git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name]
in case "branch_name" exists only remotely.
[git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name] is useful in case you have multiple remotes.
Regarding [git checkout origin 'another_branch'] I'm not sure this is possible, AFAK you can do this using "fetch" command -- [git fetch origin 'another_branch']
Example 2: git switch branch
git switch <branch_name>
git checkout <branch_name>
Example 3: switching git branch in gitbash
Switch over to the branch "issue1" when you want to add new commits to it.
Use the checkout command to switch branch.
$ git checkout <branch>
